LAKE PLACID 3



This one starts out with a bit of promise when two college age kids decide to go skinny-dipping in said lake. But first: a bit of hanky-panky on the shoreline – which they never get to finish. The boy is on his back, feet in the water. The gal’s going to “ride ‘em, cowgirl”, but something drags him about three feet into the water; the dragging stops for a moment and all of a sudden his face is in her, um, womanhood.

She squeals in delight, thinking she’s probably going to get eaten. Well, she does – just not in the way she’d hoped. Boy is dragged the rest of the way in and torn up, and before she can leave the water completely, oops, there she goes! The crocodiles pig out (if one can use that term about crocs).

Not really anything else going for it except perhaps for Yancy Butler's performance as a tough-as-nails woman poacher. Ruby is wounded several times here, but keeps on fighting back. Not much seems to shock or faze her. She has bigger balls than any of the men in this movie.

Can’t say that I was all that impressed with what was presented here. Since the lake in the movie wasn’t even called “Placid”, it’s obvious that giving the movie this title was the only hope it had to attract viewers. I say, however, that it should have been called “Lake Flaccid 3”; it would have been more accurate.
